Fehrin the Blind

Fehrin was the lover and companion of Eulin-Rae, and was killed trying to protect their son during the catastrophe. Upon his death, he was transformed into a Madjikand by the resulting burst of the Blood of Ai'Qala. Eulin-Rae found him huddled over their dying son, and as they, together, held him in his passing, Fehrin's severe emotional distress severed the link that tied him to the control of the Madjikand, leaving him the very first free and, aside from Elijah, the most potently-endowed of the eleven Madjikand, unbeknownst to either of them.

After the death of their son, Fehrin and Eulin-Rae separated for an undisclosed amount of time, presumably because Eulin-Rae blamed him for their son's death. They eventually reunite as traveling companions but lack any sort of romantic relationship, despite the mutual and unspoken loyalty to one another. Fehrin decides to follow Eulin-Rae, seemingly as her subordinate, and pursues the crystallized mana deposits from the scars of Ai'Qala. Though Eulin-Rae never explains the purpose of becoming mana hunters, Fehrin ultimately discovers that Eulin-Rae was pursuing a delusional effort to gather enough magical concentration to resurrect their son.

With Fehrin's overly quiet demeanor, it is unknown how much he ever learned about his endowment of magical abilities as a Madjikand, but when he and Eulin-Rae encounter the young Elijah Raine and they subconsciously realize that he is their lost son, Fehrin is overcome once again with powerful emotion that erupts and manifests in an impenetrable, protective barrier, and Fehrin once again is killed, but this time succeeds in protecting his son, and also in protecting his wife Eulin.

Over time, he becomes known as 'Fehrin the Blind' due to the gash across his right eye from the catastrophe, over which he wears a linen bandage tied 'round his head, with his other eye obscured by his lengthy hair. Most Madjikand are identifiable by the visible whorl of color in the iris of their eyes, but because Fehrin was freed from control immediately after his transformation, his eyes remained the deep emerald they always were, but with a bright shine from the mana within him.

Much later in the story, Fehrin returns only once as an apparation to guide Elijah through the control of the Madjikand and how to control the power himself. After sharing a single, tiny heartfelt moment with his only son, he fades away.
